Project Motivation
Climate change is a global environmental issue that impacts everyone, and a key contributor to this issue is the rising energy consumption to meet growing energy need. Singapore has launched campaigns to promote more efficient use of energy to meet this growing energy need rather than increasing energy consumption. In order to better tackle this rising energy consumption, we will first need to understand what are the factors that contribute to this increase, and this was the key motivation that led us to embarking upon this project.
Project Objective
- Identify variables that have a strong influence on energy consumption. We plan to examine variables such as location in Singapore, temperature, age, income level and housing types
- Identify geographical clusters of sub-zones with abnormally high/low level of energy consumption in Singapore
- Identify the key difference between regions with high consumption and regions with low consumption
- Create a regression model that is able to predict the energy consumption of a family
